Haters will say this is fake

Lmao
That was terrible!
What was even the point of him kicking out?

Nah, this rules. Same with Rick.

Im not here to watch two greased up youngins pretending to be mad and touching each other about it.

Im here to watch MEN exacerbate spinal issues.

Thoughts and prayers for the referees eye

The hell was this? I know he has go-home heat and people are sick of him, but at least he could still go in the ring last year.

Jericho: "That doesn't work for me brother."

That was pretty embarrassing. Is he moving so slow just because of age/health issues catching up with him?

Wow, wrestling is so exciting.

Hes been tough to watch for the last 3-4 years. Online fans are pretty sick of him but hes always pitching shit to TK so hes always going to be on TV for worse or worse

I imagine it's a combination of being old and loving the easy money and not giving a shit but being too egotistical and prideful to throw in the towel.

How was hitting the referee supposed to work in-universe here. He didn't make it look like an accident. He just straightforwardly hit him. It was supposed to set up for the belt hit, right. But then the belt hit didn't even finish. And more importantly, are referees supposed to just be okay getting hit sometimes. I would've gotten DQ'd for that in a videogame.

Sting's a decade older and was doing so much better when he retired last year.

The Learning Tree was never going to get over.

I hear Y2J has a drinking problem which would factor in on his current state

From painmaker to giving tree to cringemaker

Yeah that was awful. The ref clearly saw the belt (in kayfabe) so why did he go to Jericho rather than grab the foreign object to remove it from the ring?

Jericho is washed up. I think he was ok the first few years of AEW but man what a drop off.

He's also a right winger who has donated to Trump, and his wife was at J6.

I haven't been watching AEW the past 1-2 years but I've checked in every now and then and this gimmick is so fucking stupid and I'm appalled that someone like Jericho, who has successfully rebranded himself and gotten unexpected things over so many times in the past, would even think it was a smart idea. Just shows how washed up he is.

I don't really watch a whole lot of live wrestling anymore, but I try to follow stuff and I am a total lone wolf. A little bit of bubbly (hah) thst was funny and good. He gets a lot of stuff over, but it's one of those. If Jericho stayed off tv for awhile ppl may like him more. Now it just seems sad.

I get what he's trying to do with the learning tree. He's a smug jerk with a thousand holds to teach.

Nobody is worthy though.

Is there an explanation for why he talks the way he talks?

Why did Goldust keep a stutter years past a gimmick?

Sometimes you gimmick too close to the sun.

Goldust had an in kayfabe reason for why he even started stuttering.

Does Jericho have an in kayfabe reason for why he started talking the way he does?

I'm not challenging you or anything, I legit don't know

Yeah I caught that live. The whole match was horrible. Lol

That clip was sad and awkward. I know Goldust got his testicles electrocuted so that's why he talked with a stutter for awhile to my knowledge.

Wrestlers are obsessed. They won't stop until their bodies completely break down.

Looked like a typical wrestling match, tbh.

What got me is I think they missed their spot and then had to buy time to do their spot again but worse. The ref stuff didn't land either. Then Jericho hit the Judas effect.

The worst match he's had in like a year but this was really bad.

It would have been a fine gimmick if there wasn't Jericho fatigue from fans. It was made in response to that in the first place, and it just made it worse.

Whats da difference between him and mankind back in da day lol

Mick could still move and wrestle.

I very rarely watch that company but the shit they kick out of makes no sense. A belt shot doesnt keep you down but you get pinned 20 seconds later?

Mankind's belt swing would look 10x better

Jericho fucked the finish that was supposed to be him hitting the guy with the belt. My guess is Dax refused to stay pinned for a finish that looked that bad and probably said "hit your move" to Jericho at some point because he found that more acceptable than what had just happened.

If he retires from wrestling he'll have more time to pretend to be a rockstar and nobody wants that

What's weird is Fozzy is actually at the point that it's in regular rotation of rock 'n roll channels, but it's happened at a point when traditional hard rock (buttrock) has lost a lot of its relevance.

I did like his theme at first when Jericho debuted. But I never once thought I want to hear or buy his music. I think Jeff Hardy put out more interesting music.

The number one rule of singing is sing from the diaphragm, not the throat, and Chris Jericho is the throatiest throat singer that ever throat sang

That was probably the second worst match I have ever seen, could be a new worst though honestly. Still the other worst was much faster paced, but holy crap those slow hits with the belt were pathetic.

It really sucks because I have Y2J as one of my favorite best wrestlers too. Seeing him like this really hurts the soul. Dude needs to take a backseat but what sucks is the people at AEW prolly enables this behavior and prolly yesman him like crazy.

If we're talking worst matches ever, put some respect on the name of Rebel vs. Shelly Martinez.

Honestly Jericho should have retired YEARS ago, he can still be an on screen presence but should not be allowed in the ring, And its not just him, Lots of other wrestlers kept wrestling years after they should have
